“SNEAK PEEK PLAID TEXTURED BLAZER”
The “Sneak Peek Textured Blazer” is style A227574. The colors are…….. MUSHROOM…..or……..BLACK…….The specifics….This is a single button blazer and it is fully LINED. There are no buttons or opening on the sleeve, so if you need to shorten…..it is an easy alteration. There are flaps with bison pockets underneath the flaps……they will come sewn shut, so if you wish to open them you can, however, if you do not plan on using the pockets it is best to leave them closed. I would call the jacket shaped, but not overly fitted. If you wish to have this jacket more fitted there are many seams to take the jacket in. You should first consider how you intend to wear it and how you plan on layering it. The length of the jacket for size XS is approx. 26 inches. The TEXTURED FABRIC is a blend of POLY/ACRYLIC/WOOL and RAYON. It is very common for textured and tweed fabrics to have multi yarns.
The BLACK combination has GREY, BLACK and a GREYED WHITE woven together in a BROKEN PLAID pattern. I thought this pattern was very UNIQUE and very DESIGNER looking. This is the kind of fabric I have always gravitated to, and could only find in Italy. The MUSHROOM blazer is a combination of MUSHROOM, DARK MUSHROOM and WALNUT, which is a very dark and deep brown…..one of my new ESSENTIAL colors! There will be new WHISPER KNIT essential sweaters and the WHISPER KNIT pant [coming in Sept.]…. all in the new WALNUT. You should also know the fabric of this blazer has a nice touch to the hand….something you can’t tell from a photograph. I would say the colors of the jackets show up most accurately in the photos along the bottom of the collage. You can also see from the photos that the FEATHER PRINT was designed to work perfectly with the plaid jackets…again…very designer boutique. In another photo you can see how easily the CHILI PEPPER shirt/jacket works as a layering piece under the black blazer combined with the black feather print. There are three pictures of pleated skirts….the black feather print and the DARK MUSHROOM and BLACK light weight crepe skirts. As I said before…..PLEATED SKIRTS have made a STRONG return this year…..you knew it was bound to happen!!!You will see pleated skirts at all lengths this fall season…….. from MINIS [for the junior market] to MAXIS and all lengths in between………I can never show a collection without a GREAT WHITE SHIRT LOOK……this is pure LINEA pure ME. Of course, for me, the CHICEST way to look is wearing a great fitting BLAZER, a terrific pair of PANTS, [in this case the new Whisper Knit pull-on pant in black which will be coming in Sept.] and a GREAT WHITE SHIRT…….the KATE SHIRT…..This is TIMELESS, CLASSIC and reeks CLASS! You can’t ever go wrong with this quintessential AMERICAN LOOK! I hope you enjoy the new TEXTURED PLAID jacket that I will be bringing to you on August 6th at 4pm…….much Love, Louis
